The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

TRW Automotive Reports Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results;
Revises 2006 Full Year Outlook
LIVONIA, MICHIGAN, November 1, 2006 — TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE:
TRW), the global leader in active and passive safety systems, today reported third-
quarter 2006 financial results with sales of $3.0 billion, an increase of about 3.4 percent
compared to the same period a year ago. Net earnings for the 2006 quarter were $5
million or $0.05 per diluted share, which compares to $10 million or $0.10 per diluted
share in the prior year quarter.
Comparing the third quarter 2006 results to the previous year, a higher effective tax rate
in the current year contributed significantly to the decrease in earnings. The 2006
quarterly tax rate, which is significantly higher than the full year expected rate, was
negatively impacted primarily by the Company’s geographic earnings profile in the
quarter.
“Despite a precipitously more difficult second half operating environment, we are on
pace to post profitable operating growth in 2006 as we continue to benefit from our
industry leading sales diversification and the underlying strength of our safety product
portfolio,” said John Plant, president and chief executive officer. “We’ve been
successful at offsetting lower customer production in North America with higher product
volumes in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world, which together represent 66% of
our sales. However, the unprecedented level of recent production cuts by our major
North American customers, along with other industry and operational pressures facing
our business, have caused us to scale back our expected operating earnings growth for
the year to more moderate levels.”

3. Third Quarter 2006
The Company reported third-quarter 2006 sales of $3.0 billion, an increase of $98
million or 3.4 percent over the prior year period. The 2006 quarter benefited from the
inclusion of sales from Dalphi Metal Espana, S.A. (“Dalphimetal”), which was acquired
in October 2005. Excluding the incremental benefit from Dalphimetal, third-quarter
2006 sales were essentially flat compared to the previous year as the positive effect of
foreign currency translation and growth from safety products were offset by lower
customer vehicle production volumes in North America and price reductions provided to
customers.
Operating income for third-quarter 2006 was $82 million, which compares favorably to
the prior year result of $73 million. In comparison to the prior year, the current quarter
benefited from lower restructuring and asset impairment expenses, savings generated
from cost improvement and efficiency programs, the inclusion of Dalphimetal and the
favorable resolution of certain patent-related matters. These positive factors were
partially offset by pricing provided to customers, the effect of lower North American
industry production, commodity inflation and underperformance by the Company’s
Automotive Components Segment related primarily to inefficient product launches,
supplier issues, ongoing competitive pressures and other factors. Restructuring and
asset impairment expenses in the 2006 period were $3 million, which compares to $35
million in 2005.
Net interest and securitization expense for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $62
million when compared to the prior year total of $59 million. The year-to-year increase
can be attributed to the impact of rising interest rates on the Company’s floating rate
debt, which stands at approximately 63% of total debt outstanding, and incremental
bank debt assumed at the time of the Dalphimetal acquisition. Together, these factors
more than offset interest savings related to past debt reduction and capital structure
improvement efforts.
Third-quarter 2006 tax expense was $18 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 78
percent, which is above the expected annual rate as a result of the Company’s
quarterly geographic earnings profile. The higher tax rate in the quarter contributed
significantly to the decrease in net earnings when compared to the prior year results.
2
4. Additionally, tax expense in the 2006 quarter included the positive effect of a reversal of
prior tax reserves resulting from a tax interpretation issued by the German tax
authorities clarifying the treatment of certain corporate interest deductions and the
negative effect of establishing a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax asset of
the Company’s Canadian operations. The net impact of these two items was
immaterial.
The Company reported third-quarter 2006 net earnings of $5 million, or $0.05 per
diluted share, which compares to $10 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the 2005
period.
Earnings before interest, securitization costs, loss on retirement of debt, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $213 million in the third quarter, which
compares to the prior year level of $200 million.
Year-to-Date 2006
For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2006, the Company reported sales of
$9.9 billion, an increase of $365 million or 3.8 percent compared to prior period sales of
$9.5 billion. The current year benefited from the inclusion of sales resulting from the
acquisition of Dalphimetal, continued growth from safety products and foreign currency
translation, partially offset by lower North American customer vehicle production and
price reductions provided to customers.
Operating income for the 2006 year-to-date period was $510 million, which represents
an increase of $90 million, or 21 percent, over the prior year result of $420 million. The
current quarter benefited from a higher level of sales than the prior year, including a
beneficial product mix that favored the Company’s Occupant Safety business in the first
half of the year. Savings generated from cost improvement and efficiency programs,
lower restructuring and asset impairment costs, and the non-recurrence of certain
customer solvency and foreign currency related expenses also contributed. These
items were partially offset by price reductions provided to customers, the net impact of
commodity inflation, and the previously mentioned underperformance by the
Automotive Components Segment in the third quarter. Restructuring and asset
impairment expenses in the nine month year-to-date 2006 period were $22 million,
which compares to $58 million in 2005.
3
5. Net interest and securitization expense for the first nine months of 2006 totaled $184
million, which compares to $173 million in the prior year period. The year-to-year
increase can be attributed to the impact of rising interest rates on the Company’s
floating rate debt and incremental bank debt assumed at the time of the Dalphimetal
acquisition that together more than offset interest savings related to past debt reduction
and capital structure improvement efforts.
During the year-to-date 2006 period, the Company incurred charges of $57 million
related to the tender for the outstanding GBP 94.6 million 10-⅞% bonds of its Lucas
Industries Limited subsidiary. Similarly, the Company incurred charges of $7 million in
the prior year period for debt retirement expenses associated with the partial
redemption of its 10-⅛% senior notes.
Tax expense in the first nine months of 2006 was $134 million. The effective tax rate
excluding expenses related to the Lucas bond transaction of $57 million (which carry
zero tax benefit due to the Company’s tax loss position in the applicable jurisdiction)
was 40 percent. The adjusted rate is below the expected annual rate as a result of the
Company’s quarterly geographic earnings profile.
Year-to-date 2006 net earnings were $143 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, which
compares to $145 million or $1.42 per diluted share in the 2005 period. Net earnings in
both periods were impacted by certain non-recurring items, which were expenses of
$57 million in the 2006 period related to the Lucas bond tender transaction and net
income of $10 million in the 2005 period related to the combined effect of a one-time
tax benefit and the previously mentioned loss on retirement of debt. Net earnings
excluding these items from both periods were $200 million or $1.93 per diluted share in
2006, which compares to $135 million or $1.32 per diluted share in 2005.
EBITDA for the first nine months of 2006 was $899 million, which is an 11 percent
increase compared to the prior year total of $807 million. The year-to-year increase
can be attributed to the higher level of operating income in the 2006 period.

6. Capital Structure/Liquidity/Transactions
Net cash provided by operating activities during the third quarter and the first nine
months of 2006 was $1 million and $252 million, respectively. In the comparable 2005
period, the Company’s cash flow from operating activities was a use of ($90) million in
the third quarter and a source of $122 million in the first nine months. Third quarter
capital expenditures were $132 million compared to $107 million in 2005. For the year-
to-date period, capital expenditures were $334 million, which compares to $281 million
in the prior year.
As of September 29, 2006, the Company had $3,038 million of debt and $369 million of
cash and marketable securities, resulting in net debt (defined as debt less cash and
marketable securities) of $2,669 million, which represents an increase of $109 million
compared to the year-end 2005 level. The change in net debt includes the $57 million
premium associated with the Lucas bond tender transaction.
On February 2, 2006, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lucas Industries
Limited, completed the tender for its outstanding GBP 94.6 million 10-⅞% bonds. As a
result of the transaction, the Company incurred a $57 million charge for loss on
retirement, which reflects the difference between the tender amount and the book value
of debt related to the bonds at the time of the transaction.
On May 3, 2005, the Company completed the redemption of a portion of its Euro
denominated 10-⅛% senior notes, which resulted in pre-tax expenses of $7 million for
premiums and associated fees.
2006 Outlook
The Company revised its full year guidance downward to account for expected lower
customer vehicle production schedules and other factors in the fourth quarter.
Accordingly, full year sales are now expected to be approximately $13.0 billion
(including fourth quarter sales of approximately $3.1 billion). Net earnings per diluted
share are expected to be in the range of $1.25 to $1.50, which includes the previously
mentioned $57 million debt retirement expenses. Earnings per diluted share excluding
this one-time item are expected to be in the range of $1.80 to $2.05.
5
7. For the year, the Company continues to expect pre-tax restructuring expenses of
approximately $50 million. The full year effective tax rate is estimated at approximately
46 percent, which excludes expenses related to the bond tender transaction.
Mr. Plant commented, “In the midst of an extremely difficult operating environment, the
Company has posted solid operating growth for the year-to-date period, which is a
significant achievement for the organization. Additionally, we are making considerable
investments to enhance our technology and our global presence in the marketplace,
with the ultimate goal of growing the Company profitably and competitively over the
long term.”
“As we assess the health of the industry environment over the coming year, we
anticipate further pressures from lower North American customer volumes, an adverse
negative mix change favoring passenger cars over light trucks, and weaker commercial
vehicle sales. Our ability to mitigate these challenges, together with rising commodity
prices and a weakened supply base, will certainly test our resolve.”

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Earnings to EBITDA
(Unaudited)
The reconciliation schedule below should be read in conjunction with the TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March
31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, which contain summary historical data.
The EBITDA measure calculated in the following schedule is a measure used by management to
evaluate operating performance. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful measurement because it
is frequently used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the
evaluation of companies in our industry.
EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings
(losses) as an indicator of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure
of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s
discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax
payments and debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this
presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

In conjunction with the Company’s February 2, 2006 repurchase of its subsidiary Lucas Industries
Limited’s £94.6 million 10⅞% bonds due 2020 for £137 million, or approximately $243 million, the
Company recorded a loss on retirement of debt of £32 million, or approximately $57 million. Such loss on
retirement of debt carries zero tax benefit due to the Company’s tax loss position in the respective
jurisdiction.
The following adjustment excludes the loss on retirement of debt to show the impact as if this transaction
had not occurred.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Earnings to Adjusted Earnings
(Unaudited)
In conjunction with the Company’s May 3, 2005 repurchase of approximately €48 million principal amount of its
10⅛% Senior Notes, the Company incurred $7 million of losses on retirement of debt consisting of $6 million of
related redemption premium and $1 million for write-off of deferred debt issuance costs. Such debt retirement
expenses were U.S.-based, and therefore carry zero tax benefit due to the Company’s tax loss position in this
jurisdiction.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes a one-time benefit of $17 million
resulting from a tax law change in Poland related to investment tax credits for companies operating in certain
special economic zones within the country. The investment tax credits replace the tax holiday that was previously
in effect for the Company.
The following adjustments exclude the loss on retirement of debt, as well as the one-time income tax benefit, to
show the impact as if these transactions had not occurred.
